about "depending", those are different meanings.
mong is "
Y depends on X" in the sense of "
Y cannot exist without existence/protection of X"
latem ìlä is "
Y depends on X" in the sense of "
the ability of compute the variable Y depends on knowledge of the variable X"
While Karyu Pawl not explicitly mentioned OFP/NFP, I can easily imagine to use
mong with both persons and things. Using "
latem ìlä" on persons is somewhat more tricky, because the sentence "
fì’u latem ìlä oe" works for me like "
this depends on me" in sense of "I am the boss - the future existence of this is the subject of my will". This is probably not the correct meaning
, so I am looking forward for more canonical examples.
I don't see any reason for applying
mong directly on yourself. "
Oe mäpong" doesn't make sense to me, although "
oeyä temreyìl mong tarontswot oeyä" - "my survival depends on my ability to hunt" is good. For "
ìlä oe" we already have "
tì’efumì oeyä", and these two seem like synonyms.
